Ingredients

• 1 loaf round loaf of bread (sourdough or boule)
• 8 ounces brie cheese wheel
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, cut the top off the round loaf of bread to create a lid and carefully hollow out the bread to leave a cavity large enough for the brie wheel.

Step 3

Slice the garlic cloves into thin slivers.

Step 4

Place the brie wheel inside the hollowed bread loaf and make shallow slits on top of the cheese. Insert the garlic slivers into the slits.

Step 5

Drizzle olive oil evenly over the brie and bread. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Place the bread lid back on top and wrap the loaf loosely in aluminum foil.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with the bread lid and the hollowed-out bread pieces for dipping. Optionally, pair with crackers or fresh fruits.
